Key participants of the Helix DNA Client,

As you know, we are close to declaring "Atlas" (Helix DNA Client V3.0) stable, and are now officially starting the planning process for the next gen Helix DNA Client.  We have outlined a process and very tight schedule below that will require your much valued input and cooperation..  The first step of the multi step process (outlined below) is to hear directly from you.

YOUR ACTION: Please:
    i) take 100 points and allocate them over one or more features that you would like to see in the next revision of the platform.  (eg  40 points on X datatype support, 30 points on Y transport protocol, 30 points feature Z) and
    ii) email your points allocation to rmathew kevinfreal.com">real.com by Oct 1st at 9pm PDT.

Please do NOT copy the entire mailing list(s), but instead send the email directly to me, to keep the list traffic down and not to bias your colleagues.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

Thanks,
Rishi.
